How Do I Dial a Vanity Number on My Blackberry?

While this may seem like a no-brainer for some, it’s actually a common question!
“How do I dial a vanity number on my Blackberry?”
If you don’t know what a vanity number is, it is a custom phone number (toll free or local) that spells out a particular word. Here are a few examples:
- 1-800-Flowers
- 1-800-Contacts
- 1-888-BestBuy
So, how exactly do you go about dialing a vanity number on your Blackberry?
Well you could try to figure out what letter corresponds to what number, or you could simply hold down the ALT key. That’s it!
By holding down the ALT key, you can dial every letter on the keyboard, spelling out any number you need, including your Grasshopper vanity number!

It’s really not as difficult as everyone makes it out to be. As a consumer and a frequent user of “smart” phones, I would much rather spend 5 seconds dialing the Vanity Number rather than remembering a long complex string of digits. I find that the Vanity Number is really the most effective advertising tool out there today and what little time it takes to dial a vanity number makes up many times over in convenience.
@aty1776 – Thanks for the comment and I agree. Vanity numbers are definitely a valuable asset for business for the exact reason you said – you remember it.
When we put this post up it was funny to realize how many people even around here didn’t know how to dial letters on their blackberry, including me!
